My Style & Inspiration | 90s, Bloggers, & Flower Power

By Style Stalker 19 Apr 2015 0 Fashionspiration, Musings and Rants, OOTD 90s, aesthetics, bloggers, Clothing, Dr. Martens Permalink 0

Hi my peeps! I’ve been looking for a way to share with you some of the inspirations and things I’ve been loving lately. If you follow me on Pinterest you may have already seen some of these images, but that’s OK, they’re lovely enough to see again. This is slightly similar to my recent post with Langley Fox as my “fashionspiration,” but sort of different. Hopefully you’re a fan of the 90s grunge, MEGA-BABE bloggers, snazzy street style pics, and editorials… (Inspiration images via Pinterest)

Fashionspiration

~90s, MEGA-BABE Bloggers, and Flower Power~

I have a lot of different inspirations at the moment, so they don’t all fit into one theme, but they’re a mix between 90s, bloggers, editorials, and street style. I really want to have include some sort of retro aesthetic in my outfit, whether that means a suede 90s skirt, thick platform sandals, or bell bottom jeans. I think that some of these pictures really sum that up. Overalls are also a goal of mine, mainly because of Justina Sharp, and Tumblr. There’s also been a few bloggers I turn to for inspiration nowadays, the MEGA-BABES of the blogging world, such as Tolly Dolly Posh, and Clover + Dot, as well as Tavi Gevinson, and Fashion Your Seatbelt. I’ve been loving scuba fabric, and high waisted, light wash jeans, especially the effortlessly cool, grunge or retro vibes. Pastels don’t seem to match the rest of this, but flower crowns do, so of course I had to include a few of both. Pastels and bright colors may seem to contradict each other, but those have also been really big inspirations for me as well.

~Overalls, Turtleneck Crop Tops, and Dr. Martens~

What I Wore: Mineral Wash Overall Shorts (Forever 21)//Short-Sleeved Knit Sweater (ASOS )//Black Patent Leather 1460s (Dr. Martens)//Simple, Stacked, Rope Bracelets (Assortment)

Surprise, surprise, I wore my Dr. Martens. Despite what you may have been thinking due to my Dr. Martens and flower crown lookbook, A, I do own other pairs of shoes, and B, I do wear them. But I couldn’t help myself, these clunky boots just scream grunge, and 90s fashion. Plus, Dr. Martens, are pretty much iconic, meaning they’re all over Tumblr, meaning that I was automatically effortlessly cool. I paired those beauties with another one of my personal favorites, overalls. I was considering whether I wanted to get a pair of shorts, or full length pants, but I’m glad I decided on the shorts, they just seem to match the OOTD really, very well. Despite the fact that overalls are pretty popular every summer, that’s not really one of the reasons I bought them. In fact, it was because of this crop top. I have made an executive decision, and decided that sleeveless, turtleneck crop tops are the coolest things out there, and they really compliment these overalls. I would have preferred black to match my shoes, but you have to take what you can get in sales.

Due to the fact that my local delivery has decided to be exceedingly slow, I couldn’t wear this turtleneck, but I could wear this just as pretty, yet slightly less 90s inspired shirt.

Had I owned a choker necklace I probably would’ve worn that, but instead I just wore this simple little mouth necklace, mainly because it just seemed grunge inspired. Instead stacked a bunch of simple, small, and sometimes rope bracelets, (which I do almost everyday in the summer) just to add a little flair. Oh and the flower crown… You’ve been seeing a lot of flowers, crowns, and DIYs on this blog lately, mainly related to my next big project, but no one knows what it is. Anyways, I paired one of my absolute favorite and probably most retro flower crown with this whole ensemble. Daisies, they have good vibes you know?

Well that’s that! What are some of your current “fashionspirations?” What aesthetics have you been loving? How do you translate your inspiration into an OOTD? Let me know in the comments.

Channeling my Inner ‘Langley Fox Hemingway’

By Style Stalker 02 Apr 2015 0 Fashionspiration, OOTD bohemian, boho, California, Closet Tour, Fashion Permalink 4

Recently I discovered some of the closet tours, and interviews with some of the worlds next “It Girls,” and ever since I’ve been hooked. All the pictures are very vibrant, lovely, and quite inspiring. Since I had read about Langley Fox Hemingway in one magazine or another a little while ago, and really loved her simplistic style, I decided to delve further into the world of a certain someone. This led me to a new style of posting, one where I embodied the spirit of a new inspiration for one outfit or two. All “fashionspiration” images via The Coveteur.

~Langley Fox Hemingway~

This might just be me, but all these pictures remind me of a bohemian, indie summer movie, complete with dreamy filming, and a fairy-like actress. Everything is beaches, and flowers, and fields full of dandelions and daisies. There be even be some of retro, tacky Californian vibes hidden in the mix. I really want to do a sort of bright, flowing, yet simplistic outfit, which I think really comes through in these pictures. There’s also that Tumblr vibe, where everything comes off as effortlessly cool, even if it’s nothing but a pair of shoes and some flowers. That’s also something I want to encompass in my outfit. I’ve also found that everything is really laid back, there’s just simple, timeless pieces without any big statements, which stands out in it’s on way. I’m not so sure how that’ll work out considering I find outfits like this pretty, yet boring, but we shall see.

~The Translation~

What I Wore: Navy Blue Pleated Pinafore (J. Crew)//Grey “Geek Shirt” (J. Crew)//Pink and Purple “XOXO” Necklace (ghdsj)//Gold Quote Necklace ()//Gold “Hello” Cuff (Forever 21)//Gold Charm Bracelets (Alex and Ani)//Cat Ear Flower Crown (Forever 21)

I think I have succeeded in channeling my inner Langley Fox Hemingway, at least in this outfit. Let’s work our way from the top down. This headband reminds me of festivals, Coachella, and the like, so it is perfect for indie, bohemian vibes. The flowers encompass my field of daisies, and effortless summers. I can imagine Langley Fox as the willowy, free-spirited older sister with lots of wisdom that disappears one summer, and for some reason, a necklace with this cliche quote just seems to fit that. The “XOXO” necklace really has nothing to do with Langley Fox, it’s a personal choice, as are the gold charm bracelets. I did not pick this “Hello” cuff because I like people, and socializing is fun (never), but because it’s very Tumblr-esque, and that is important in this sort of OOTD. The pinafore. I think that sort of thing is just so easy to throw on, yet because it is a dress type of piece, it instantly looks more glamorous than it actually is, which is perfect for a Langley Fox Hemingway inspired outfit. And the shoes, partly personal preference, and partly because they just seem to add to the overall flow and vibes of this here outfit.

Well, that’s that! I really enjoyed writing this post, especially finding the “Fashionspiration,” and writing about how I wanted to encompass all the different elements in my outfit. Hopefully you’ve found a new inspiration, because I’m certain that I have. I’ll probably be trying some other “fashionspirations,” and icons because I really liked the style of this post.

Who are some of your “fashionspirations?” What did you think of Langley Fox Hemingway’s style? Let me know in the comments below.

P.S. Do you see how I appear effortlessly cool?

I’m not one of those people who walks around with earbuds in all day, or brings a Bluetooth speaker on the bus, but I do like music. Some of the time. Some of the time I think people have gone crazy. For example, have you seen Nicki Minaj lately? Stick with starships please.

My friend told my other friend about my blog. So that happened. She likes fashion too, so I guess it’s all good. But maybe this is getting too diary-like. I mean, boys, and other crazy stuff like that has become a daily thing. Too bad, people, deal with my problems. Because I can’t consistently keep a journal. The one I have now, with 17 pages completed is my record.

Oh, that title’s all me. Yeah, I know I’m good.

Vibes: Moody, Perfect Clutter & Daisies

Fashion… clothes… blah blah blah…. I have actually succeeded in creating outfits worth sharing.

I have not succeeded in creating the time and effort it takes to take good pictures. SOOOOO sorry, but no outfit pictures until I get a tripod. Excuses excuses, reasons, blah blah.

This is a really lazy random, post, but I felt like contributing something to the world today, (and I can’t finish a paper journal, I’m working on it) so here we are.

Well here I am, since you will likely be closing this in 3….2….1….. oh no! You’re still here, that means… Well, I have to do an actual post. Here are some vibes. Enjoy be inspired, all that blogger stuff.

P.S. I am quite frustrated with my theme. It pretty, 1 picture a column, caveman talk, zzzzz…. huh what? click and read description… big picture… zzz……… (yes, I know these go at the end. jeez leave me alone, I know what I’m doing, just for that, no caps for you).

Very Tavi Gevinson, teenager with personality thing, not the fake, annoying talkative “girls” (if you can call them that, they’re more like robots, or zombies) who think they should drink coffee in middle school and Do Not Enter Diaries. I am currently in the process of achieving this moodiness.

Kind of perfect in that messy way. I can’t figure out how to clutter without making a mess.

Abandoned Theme Parks

Hi my little lovelies!

For whatever reason I’ve been hearing the word aesthetic, and since I didn’t know what it meant (gosh, give me a break) I decided to ask Siri, and voila! I’m a little bit smarter. But it kind of describes my life and the way I live it. I have these “vibes” after seeing things on Tumblr and movies and blogs (and yes that if how I spend my time) and then I try to live like that. So usually after Tumblr I sit in my room with sad music on while attempting to paint my nails and make flower crowns and despise people who deserve to be despised. I let my room be a big unorganized mess, in the way that is organized to me (and no one else) and I lock the doors and watch Netflix instead of cable because I have a very limited selection of channels. But other times I’ll read and see all these happy people, so I bake cookies and banana bread eat ice cream and pretend to ride a retro bike so I can model clothes (and mock people who give me weird looks when I take pictures).

Behold the deep depths of my mind! I will not give you the key, (I considered it) because I do not think I would like you poking and prodding around my brain. You might find something wrong with me. Something else at least.

I would love to have dinner alone at this little table with one other person where we could pretend to be classy as the world falls apart around us. And we can pretend everything is fine, even when it isn’t, because that is just the messed up life we live. But because no one else in the world thinks I this, I am left pretending.

These are just watermelon, and they should be insignificant, but they are not, they are beautiful and noticed and that really gets to me (as I am writing this post I realize I can think of great metaphors off the top of my head). Something small is often disregarded in this world, so therefore I am often disregarded when someone walks right into me and I automatically say “excuse me,” and they just keep on walking. And that is when I am noticed by everyone when I stick my tongue out at them, and in my head call them a bunch of not-so-nice words.

Everyone tries to take all the gorgeous pictures of the Eifel Tower on sunny days and with lots of lights, but I am a dark person as of right now, and quite cruelly all of them are ugly compared to this one.

I would love to have three feet so I can walk down the street like this and make people stare, but also so I can wear mismatched pastel shoes and call myself creative and original for that very fact.

If you were a good little reader you would know this is my attempt at all this Tumblr and We Heart It stuff (which to me isn’t quite stuff because I live by it, but for everyone else it is) and I do not know if I have succeeded, but I can live like I have and continue pretending to be a fancy little 7th grader when we all know I am far from the fact.

I cannot truly live like this because 1) I do not have long hair, 2) I do not live by beautiful bright flowers, and 3) I would not like to cut hearts out my shirt and expose the straps of my underclothes. But I can admire this and act like one day I will.

The day I can sit on a dock and take pictures of me taking pictures while waiting for the perfect light without getting bored is the day pigs fall from the sky. I know how to read, but I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO BE CLICHE!

I would love to live like a movie and go riding on a merry-go-round in an abandoned theme park, but for now I can settle for going into stores late and riding on the cart like it is a scooter.

I like to imagine when I sit for 12 hours in the car it will rain and I will see a rainbow. So to prepare myself for such paralyzing beauty I will play with the hose and the sun, while I pretend to be watering the plants even though we have sprinklers. HAHA! No one would believe I voluntarily did extra chores. That was quite a stupid thought.

I would absolutely love to live in New York, but with all the violence I keep hearing about on the news, I am not so sure I would ever do that. I know you are not supposed to let fear control your life, but I will let the possibility of danger and death control it. Away from those morbid thoughts, I still love the city, and have been there before.

This is hardly the tacky stuff I try to channel, but in some way it is perfect.

A lot of people may think I am crazy for loving the black flower above and them loving the colorful flowers here, but it is something with the photography which captures my attention, even though I can not live my life through pictures. But as I have said many times before I can pretend that I have a movie all about me, and I just happen to carry around paper bags of roses and things.

If I am on Tumblr it is only necessary that I have a flower crown shown. It is not just because this is a flower crown that I picked it. It is because I want a flower crown that I am putting this on here. I would also love to turn my head away from the camera, like I am camera shy while donning a string of silk things that people pretend grew from the ground.

For whatever reason I am quite inspired by flowers… Though I would rather have a single red rose, so many red roses are just fine too. You know, if someone wants to buy me a bunch of dying things to put in water, I’m not going to be too picky about it. Though I will be quite literal.

I think I’ve decided to live a very Tumblresque (yes I make words up) picture-perfect life. And that is not good because Tumblr has unbelievably high expectations, and I am trying to get by with my crazy and messy life, and it is all a little heart breaking. But I will continue living this way until piece-by-piece my little fairy tale falls apart and I am forced to stop pretending. But until then I will enjoy living my slightly tacky picture-worthy life and hope it lasts forever.
